Star War Physics? You've got to be joking Patrick! 5 things annoyed me off the top of my head in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi": (1) Bombs falling down in space; (2) Leia floating around in space for a bit them floating back to the ship and getting over it; (3) those stupid little squeaky puffin things (Porgs - even Chewy wouldn't eat one whilst the First Order wipe out the sophisticated ecosystems of entire planets! If they had edited out that scene with the sad eyed Porgs staring at a hungry Chewbacca, I think I would have liked the Porgs. But that was an anthropomorphism too far. Chewbacca should have got out a blaster and fried a few more of the little mutts as he ate the first one...); (4) One thing that was also weird was how the resistance ships being blown up by the First Order as they headed for Craig didn't even try to move out of range. They were all kind of bunched together, like cannon fodder. If they had spread out, the First Order might have had a harder time getting them all, and (5) the telephone call with butt-hole eyes was the low point...How can we talk Physics with a movie like this? Star Wars isn't SCIENCE fiction. Never has been. It is fantasy.
